How do you think the economy will affect decisions by women to stay at home versus work? With so many people losing jobs, do you think more women will be forced back into a job to help out (or take over) family finances? Is SAH parenting

I compared MY job to the same job in her area and HER job to the same job in my area :0

Yes, but it's not the only elementary school feeding into the middle school, correct?

Yeah, but I don't think you'd qualify for a similar job to the one you have in your area in her area.

Plus you have more and better benefits, which are really hard to put a price tag on....

Sure you did. You made a rather pointed comment about how your salary is very close to mine despite the fact that you don't have the same education as I do.

True. They will meet new people but that doesn't mean you won't still be friends with the old ones from elementary school.
My junior high had 6 of the 12 elementary schools go to it, then the high school had all 12 go to it and still then, I was friends with the kids in elementary school in the high school, along with my new friends from junior high and then high school.

This tells you that your attempted research is about as meaningful as trying to figure out what a marine biologist would make in Iowa, and how that would affect their SOL given that the COL would be cheaper than on any coast.
